Lunenburg District RCMP is asking for the public's help in identifying a man following a suspicious incident.

At 3:45 p.m. on August 17, two females, ages 16 and 14, were walking on Edgewater St., near the United Church, when a man pulled up in a vehicle and tried to engage in a conversation with the two youths. He then asked the girls to get in his vehicle. The girls refused and the man drove away.

The man is described as being in his mid-thirties, dark complected, with short hair and dark brown scruff, on the heavier side of a medium build with a slight accent. He was driving what is believed to be a silver four door sport utility vehicle, larger than a CRV, with black material hanging from the back window.

Lunenburg District RCMP would like to speak to the man involved and are asking anyone who can identify him to call the detachment at 902-634-8674 or 1-800-803-RCMP (7267). Should callers wish to remain anonymous, they can also call Nova Scotia Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), text TIP202 + your message to 'CRIMES' (274637) or by secure online tips at www.crimestoppers.ns.ca.

The investigation is ongoing.
